ball team swings into its second
straight three-game series when
Chico State appears for a single
game starting at 8 o'clock
Friday night the Owls square
off against the Humboldt State
Lumberjacks in the first of a two
came session.
The Owl five is showing no ill
effects of the three-day siege in
Portland at the District NAIA
Tipoff Tourney, and aren't t h e
least bit discouraged in spite of
the fact they were stopped in all
three games.
Said coach Wally Palmberg,
"Losing to any of those ball clubs
was no crime . . . they were all
good teams. I am satisfied that
we will do well come conference
play. Oregon College shows a lot.
of size and talent and they arc
going to be tough this season but
I think we 11 have jelled by con
ferenee time ... so we'll be
okay."
Owls Bob Petersen and Van Zi
tek came back from Portland with
a mark or two from the rugged
combat. Petersen, although he
missed a practice because of it,
is toughing out a sore hand result
ing from a bone chip on a
knuckle. The hand is tightly ban
daged. Zitck took a whack in the eye
that is causing him trouble.
Monday afternoon the Techmen
returned to the practice tloor ana
will continue workouts through
Wednesday.
Palmbera is not certain of his
lineup for the coming test with
Dowerful Chico State but ne nas
shifted things around to make
room for Charlie Wilson at a pos-
sible back-court slot. Wilson, the
football star who is the brother
of little Leon Wilson who topped
all the NAIA tourney scorers with
60 Doints in three games, was
a starter on the 1959 squad.
Palmbera will probably use
Petersen, big Gene Branson and
Hewlett Nash at the remaining
starting positions.
AFL Drafts
Top Talent
DALLAS. Tex. (API The young
American Football League flexed
its muscles today and pointed to
all the top college talent it had
drafted.
Nine of the All Americas, in
cluding the great Joe Bellino of
Navy, were included in the 240
players selected in 30 rounds. The
draft, started two weeks ago, was
finished Monday night.
Bellino was the nineteenth choice
of.. Boston. William H. Sullivan
Jr., president of the Boston club,
explained that while "Bellino is
all they say he is a great foot
ball player we picked him down
the list because he has probably
four years to serve with the Navy.
We had to draft those immediate
ly available at the top."
The All Americas drafted be

For Playoffs
NEW YORK (AP)-Coins were
to be flipped today at National
Football League headquarters!
here to determine playoff pair-j
ings in event of a tie in the West
ern Division where three cluos
now are deadlocked for first
place.
Baltimore, -Green Bay and San
Francisco are tied, each with 6-4
records and with two games to go
before the end of the regular
schedule.
Actually, five teams have a
chance, with the Chicago Bears
at 5-4-1 and Detroit next at 5-5.
All five teams were represented
but Commissioner Pete Rozelle
narrowed it down to a 3-way
deadlock to simplify the pro
cedure. The Philadelphia Eagles
clinched the Eastern Division title
Sunday and will meet the West
ern winner in Philadelphia. The
original date is Dec. 26, but will
be changed if there is a dead
lock. Rozelle set aside two playoff
dates to take care of a triple tie.
Teams A and B would meet Dec.
26, with the winner playing team
C Jan. 1. The Western champion
then would play the Eagles in
Philadelphia Jan. 7.
In event of a 4-way deadlock,
eliminations would be played Dee.
26. with the two survivors clash
ing for the Western crown Jan. 1.
Here is the remaining schedule
for the five teams involved:
Green Bay at San Francisco
Dec. 10; at Los Angeles Dec. 17.

Friday and Saturday night in a
pair of games that w ill initiate ac

In Roseburg the Pels dropped
a 64-62 overtime squeaker on Fri

collect a 78-73 victory.
It is hoped that (he Roseburg

The Booster Club meeting is
open to all KF fans, whether
they are club members or
not, and a large turnout is
expected.
Coach Dean Whit e, who will
put his squad through speedy
workouts through Thursday aft

he was highly satisfied with the
performance of his club in Rose

"If this proposal is not accept

Assuming the National League

Promoter Says 'Big Money' Just Myth
MIAMI, Fla. (UPI) - There is,
no way of telling whether a crim
inal element still operates in box
ing's shadowy background but,
promoter Chris Dundee asserted
today, the sport "isn't big enough
any more to attract a real rack
eteer."
There could be a suspicion of
this analysis in view of former
International Boxing Club Presi
dent Truman Gibson's testimony
before the Kcfauver committee
that jailed mobster Frankie Car
bo manipulated a national boxing
network. Gibson also testified
that Dundee once used Carbo's
influence in an attempt to obtain
certain closed circuit television
rights for a championship fight.
"That s a lot of bunk." Dundee
snorted. "If he was so big and
went to bat for me, doesn't it
seem likely I'd have gotten it?"
Dundee admitted that he knew
Carbo but denied that he ever did
